Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 8 oz Hershey’s chocolate bar, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for ganache)
- 1/4 cup milk (for ganache)
- Crushed Hershey’s chocolate bars (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the melted Hershey’s chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
- While the cheesecake is cooling, make the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream and mixing in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Once cooled, pour the ganache over the cheesecake and spread evenly. Top with crushed Hershey’s chocolate bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheesecake!
